Church History

In the 1890s, Rev. William T. MacArthur was sent to launch a church in the Pittston, PA area. The church grew and expanded its outreach throughout northeastern Pennsylvania, establishing daughter churches in towns like Duryea, Avoca, Glendale, and Moosic (now Moosic Alliance Community Church) through innovative "cell church" methods. More than 40 people from this movement eventually entered full-time ministry, missions, and Christian education, demonstrating how God can use humble beginnings for great purposes.
